Miss Mary A. Carrigan, dauA hter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carrigan. of BurnsVille,
Dakota county, died on the evening of
the 23d inst. after a protracted illness
of six weeks, during which time she
suffered intensely. Miss Carligan was
only 25 years of age at the time of her
DEATH During her life, though brief,
she had done much in the cause of hui

that tended towards the advancement
of the Catholic church and the socie-

Always Of a most devout nature, she
was well prepared in the closing mo-

Brooklyn, on Thanksgiving day, but

they would also refuse to play base ball

A rural teacher was examining q new

Ex-King Theebaw Of Burmah mildly

Several pamphlets have recently been printed in
England To answer IN the query, aWho invented the
adhesive postage stamp7' Up TO within a short
time Sir Rowland Hi, .'the father or the penny
post, has been accorded the honor; but his claim
Is disputed by Mr.. Patrick Chalmers or Wlmble-
don, in behalf Of his father james Chalmers. To
many minds such question seems strange one
20 make the text for vigorous controversy. since
the Invention consisted merely OF device to take
the place OF the cid method OF printing paid" or
six pence postage due" ON the outside OF a let
ter or package with a hand-stamp held by
the postmaster Yet, insensibly to itself. the
world received from the adhesive stamp one of the
greatest practical benefits IL has ever known The
national treasures have acquired more money
through the Increased convenience to the public
on the one hand and tn greater facility OF collec
ton on the other. The adhesive stamp made cor
rospondence easter: the ease OF eOrrespondence
made its volume larger; the Increased volume
paved the way forcheaper rates. Hence IL comes
that TO the invention OF little bit OF colored
paper smeared with mucilage on the back We mus,
credit our power 70 send a letter to-day frum one
extreme OF the United Kingdom to the other for a
penny, or from Bangor To Los Angeles for TIA
equivalent In American money It is no, wonder
fui, In view OF what the last forty-,ix Years have
witnessed In postal progress on both sides OF the
glooe, that the honor OF devising 50 far-reaehfpo
an improvement should be regarded worth con
tending for.

So thoroughly identified was the name of John
Roach with the trade or shipbuilding that prob
ably few OF his fellow citizens are aware that his
original occupation was that OF a machinist, and
the ambition Of his earlier life to be farmer II
is q noteworthy confidence that the two great
changes In his career were wrought by the busi-
ness failures OF friends in whose fortunes he was
financially entangled. In the first instance he had
bought farm and paid down one-half of the
slender savings OF years OF toll mechanic; the
other half he had left I'm the hands OF man whom
he trusted like brother. but who became bank
Tupt When the time for the final payment ar
rived, therefore, Roach was unable to produce the
money and lost the farm. This sent him back to
his trade, thoroughly disguised with his agricul-
tural hobby The second instance was when he
had become surety on a contract held b. ship
builder at Chester, Pa The contractor failed and
rather than pay his Indebtedness, Roach resolved
to complete the work in hand. He did so and
with such shrewdness that he made a handsome
pront and concluded that there was more money
for him In shipbuilding than In Notwithstanding
Mt. Roachs remarkable history illustrates the
folly Of repining over adverse accidents, which so
often open the happiest opportunities If our cour-
age Is equal to the test.
